I have to say that Saturdays class was much better than I expected.  After last weeks class and the deflated confidence towards learning French, I felt much better in class this week.  I didn't feel quite as lost and I walked away feeling hopeful that yes, indeed, I would learn to speak French one day.  I tried to learn a bunch of basic vocabulary last week which always seems to bolster my confidence.  It helped this week because I had a basic idea of what she was talking about.

The funniest thing (well not really) happened in class.  A sweet couple in their 20's were talking with Dan and I about another couple who moved to Paris and blogged about it.  The sweet girl said "they reminded us so much of you guys because they were older like you".  I cleared my throat and tried to pretend that I did not hear that remark.   She gave me the website and as soon as I got home I pulled it up to see if they had a picture posted (they did).  I looked at Dan and said "well, yeah, they do look  like us and the gals name is Gina".  They looked like they were in their late 30's to mid 40's.  I guess that is old now.  OH MY GOSH!  Ok, that was really humbling.   

I also wanted to give ya'll a quick update on an actual date for moving.  Ha., last week Dan was told that someone in Paris was working on the contract and would call Dan in a couple of weeks.  That could be a month French time.  Dan isn't pushing the issue because we are thinking that hopefully this will push back our arrival  by a few months.  I also have a realtor coming by this week to give me a bunch of information about leasing and property management.
